Different railroads were entirely prevented from operations, and towns and cities were cut off from coinmtinicatioti with the outside world. The storm was equally severe in France. Bismarck has been working up a bill to prevent members of the Reichstag from using unbecoming expressions in discussion, and a draft of the bill has now been published, which causes intense excitement. It places the power of punishment of members of the Reichstag in tlte hands two Y ice Presidents and ten members, to meet tit the order of the President of the House, or on motion of twenty mem bers, llie committee would be authorized to inlliet punishment, viz: First, to order member to receive a public reprool hc-ire the assembled House; second, to oblige the offender to make nil apology icforc the assembled House; third, toex- lude a Deputy from the Reichstag for a fixed period. Should this exclusion extend to the entire term of the session of the Legislature, the member so punished may also be liable to lose the right ot being elected to the Reichstag; and further an independent motion in favor of depriv ng a liemitv ol hm right ol election may ic brought I'irwaril in the House. A cor- espondent savs that though the Liberals think they can defeat it, still it w ill pass about as published, as Oismarck is still master ol the situation.

When it is possible, there is given besides the bare lact a brief ac count of the famine, together with its assigned cause. It is interesting to note train this list that lanuiies gave rise to the corn laws in England in 1258, when the citizens ot London wero forbidden by proclamation to deal in foreign grain, and to the poor law in 1580. Tho causes are divided by Mr. Walford rain, frost, drought, meteorological phe nomena, as earttiq liases, ami insectB or vermin; the artificial war, defective agriculture, defective transport, legislative interference, currency restrictions, including debasing the com, speculation.

Now for an example of his power of work : Be tween the ages ot twentv-soven nnd fifty four he never knew wliat it was to be sick. He was accustomed in Wash ington to get to work in the evening nt live o clock and labor tremendously through men I hours, and without tak ing a rest, until cloven o clock at night.

The Journal lie St. Petersburg says llie Ameer entered Russian territory, not in consequence of the sticcc-m of the British, but to invoke the mediation of Russia. The Aiueijr will receive sympathetic lios liitality, but the idea of mediation is an illusion. It is stated that the proprietors of the London Morning Advertiser have brought a suit against the London agent of the Xew York Associated Press, for asserting in his dispatches to New York, December 13 last, regarding the Afghan campaign, that the Advertiser's reports were generally untrustworthy. . The snow storm and galea in some parts of England up to Friday night were the severest for years, and great damage was feared on the coast and to shipping. Different railroads were entirely prevented from operations, and towns and cities were cut off from coinmtinicatioti with the outside world. The storm was equally severe in France. Bismarck has been working up a bill to prevent members of the Reichstag from using unbecoming expressions in discussion, and a draft of the bill has now been published, which causes intense excitement. It places the power of punishment of members of the Reichstag in tlte hands two Y ice Presidents and ten members, to meet tit the order of the President of the House, or on motion of twenty mem bers, llie committee would be authorized to inlliet punishment, viz: First, to order member to receive a public reprool hc-ire the assembled House; second, to oblige the offender to make nil apology icforc the assembled House; third, toex- lude a Deputy from the Reichstag for a fixed period. Should this exclusion extend to the entire term of the session of the Legislature, the member so punished may also be liable to lose the right ot being elected to the Reichstag; and further an independent motion in favor of depriv ng a liemitv ol hm right ol election may ic brought I'irwaril in the House. A cor- espondent savs that though the Liberals think they can defeat it, still it w ill pass about as published, as Oismarck is still master ol the situation.

At Ibis speech the woman fainted Lincoln motioned to his attendant, who picked the woman up nnd carried her out.

When it is possible, there is given besides the bare lact a brief ac count of the famine, together with its assigned cause. It is interesting to note train this list that lanuiies gave rise to the corn laws in England in 1258, when the citizens ot London wero forbidden by proclamation to deal in foreign grain, and to the poor law in 1580. Tho causes are divided by Mr. Walford rain, frost, drought, meteorological phe nomena, as earttiq liases, ami insectB or vermin; the artificial war, defective agriculture, defective transport, legislative interference, currency restrictions, including debasing the com, speculation.

Caleb CnililHK't Working Power. B,)stiill Herald. Caleb dishing was one of the most extraordinary men of this ago, for this reason: lie bad a memory probably unequaled by any man now alive. He could read sixteen hours a day font month, and never forget an important fact obtained in that time, and this fac ulty made him the piofotmilcst authority on Federal law in this countrv. His memory nnd bis power of work were the secrets of his success. As an illustration of this. the following anecdote is told: In ls0,i, or thereabout, he was appointed Chief Justice ol the Supreme Bench of Massachusetts. He was out of practice ancl,ftn use his own words. verv rusty, no set to want. How ever, and in nineteen days had read sixty volumes on different laws ques tions ot precedent, laws ot contracts, laws ot exchange, etc. About seven teen volumes were devoted to Massa chusetts law; twice as many more wore made up of reports, and the reading was altogether extremely varied. Now for an example of his power of work : Be tween the ages ot twentv-soven nnd fifty four he never knew wliat it was to be sick. He was accustomed in Wash ington to get to work in the evening nt live o clock and labor tremendously through men I hours, and without tak ing a rest, until cloven o clock at night. Then he would smoke a cigar, get into bed and read history until be fell asleep. In one winter be finished in this manner thirteen octavo volumes of scientific travel and recent history.
